Consumer Description

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FRONT WINDOW SHATTERED AS I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2004 VW BEETLE CONVERTIBLE. LUCKILY I ONLY RECEIVED A FEW SMALL PUNCTURE WOUNDS FROM THE GLASS FALLING ON ME. A FEW WEEKS AGO MY REAR WINDOW QUIT WORKING. THEN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW SHATTERED. MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RECALL THESE WINDOWS? I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE CAR WHEN THE WINDOW SHATTERED THE SECOND TIME, BUT REALLY? HOW COMMON IS IT FOR A CAR TO HAVE 2 WINDOWS SHATTER AND ANOTHER BROKEN REGULATOR IN 6 MONTHS? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM VW NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR
